The United States is a federation, with elected officials at the federal (national), state and local levels. On a national level, the head of state, the President, is elected indirectly by the people, through an Electoral College. Today, the electors virtually always vote with the popular vote of their state. All members of the federal legislature, the Congress, are directly elected. There are many elected offices at state level, each state having at least an elective Governor and legislature. There are also elected offices at the local level, in counties and cities. According to political science professor Jennifer Lawless, there were 519,682 elected officials in the United States as of 2012.
State law regulates most aspects of the election, including primaries, the eligibility of voters (beyond the basic constitutional definition), the running of each state's electoral college, and the running of state and local elections. The United States Constitution defines (to a basic extent) how federal elections are held, in Article One and Article Two and various amendments. The federal government has also been involved in attempts to increase voter turnout, by measures such as the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessperson and media personality. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's career, branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner have made him famous throughout the country. Since 2015, he is also a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.

This election will be CLOSE. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://www.tytnetwork.com/join “With less than 60 days until the presidential election, Hillary Clinton is keeping the pressure on Donald Trump in two reliably Republican states that could tip her way. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday finds that the former secretary of State trails the businessman by just two points in both Arizona and Georgia, two states that have voted for the GOP in every recent presidential election but have recently been considered swing states. In Arizona, Trump maintains a lead of 40 percent to 38 percent, while Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets 12 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein attracts ...

Barely a day goes by without Vladimir Putin's name being mentioned in the contest for the American presidency.

The stock market is nervous in the month before the American presidential election. In less than three trading days the VIX rose from under 12 to over 20 at the start of September. This was presumably related to insecurity in connection with the FED’s interest rate decision in September but the rise would probably not have been so extreme if there had not been a looming presidential election. Are there greater risks connected with being an investor in stock now than under normal circumstances? This is not the view of chief strategist David Bakkegaard Karsbøl. Elections are held regularly in the USA, Europe and Japan. There are also referendums, wars and acts of terror. But the long-sighted investor should focus exclusively on the price of investment stock. Although stocks are currently p...
